I agree that pets can be a wonderful way to experience love and something which loves you unconditionally!

I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, and they all love me as much as I love them. My young pup who we got in march is the most loveable little guy ever! he snuggles up to me on the couch, sighing happily and he always tries to get as close as possible to my body! he licks my hand gently, sometimes letting his tongue linger on my hand.

If you get a dog, try to spend some time with him/her before hand, to get a feel for the dog. Lots of housetrained wonderful dogs at your local shelter waiting for love and waiting for someone to love them!

Also I suggest reading lots of books and find one that inspires you to do great art work again. Search the web for artists and interests and delve into them again.

take a yoga class, instead of an aerobis class, so you can get in touch with your body and mind. get out and try to do things, try new things....and you may wanna see your doctor if you think it is hormonal!! I wish the best for you! and in fact I will send positive vibes to you tonight while I meditate! let me know if you feel any positive vibes tonight at about 11:00 est time *grins*

I dont know if it works, but I like to try!
